On to the Orlando TT Campground

I just looked at the title I have for this Posting, and I realize
that I have fallen into the same trap as so many other people who live
or work in a specialized field. I have as many acronyms as words in the
title.

I think this may be a good subject for a future posting, so you will probably see it here soon.

Until
then, for the uninitiated, TT stands for Thousand Trails, which is a
private RV Resort Club, and CG is just that, a Campground.

Anyway,
we arrived here on the 9th, and got set up and comfortable that day,
and then we decided to decorate for Christmas. The restriction we put
on ourselves was that all ofthe decorations had to fit into no more than
two medium sized Totes, and ideally, only one.

This
has caused a good amount of heated discussion, but finally settled on
what we are going to use now, with an eye towards improving on our
selections in the future.

Our first purchase was very
gaudy and some might say, ugly, lighted Palm Tree for outside. We then
came up with the idea of a couple of Santa hats on the mirrors, along
with a pair of Santa pants. A very nice combination. Try it.

Along
with these, we have a nice collection of little plush Christmas animals
for our dash, that look very nice, and we finally got a couple of those
rope light strings. We decided on the multi-color ones, and will use
them throughout the year, as so many other campers do for accent
lighting.

We are still looking at other ideas, but for now this is it.

As
far as TT CG's go, we prefer Peace River over Orlando, but that doesn't
mean that Orlando is a bad CG. It is actually, a really good upper end
CG, that I would recommend to anyone.

It is just that
although the Orlando TT CG is right in the middle of every type of
entertainment you might want, the peace and tranquility of Peace River
is much nicer to us, most of the time.

Well, we are going walking up to the Clubhouse, to see what is going on today, so more updates are coming.
